WindTech has released what it is calling ‘the next generation of microphone protection’ – the PopGard.
More than two years in development, the PopGard PG-2000 claims excellent protection against plosives in side-address microphones in studio and broadcast applications. In addition, the PopGard is hydrophobic, helping to prevent moisture from reaching the microphone element while remaining acoustically transparent.
Weighing less than 1oz, the PopGard is easy to clean and attaches in seconds to most side-address microphones from 46mm to 68mm in diameter.
As the screen easily attaches to the microphone body using lightweight elastic bands, there is no need for clamps or goosenecks. This mounting method allows the PopGard to move with the microphone without constant adjustment.
PopGard carries a US MSRP of US$39.95.
